Holiday Traditions Open House at the Seward House: A December Afternoon in Auburn's Most Beautiful Victorian Home — December 13

The Seward House Museum throws open its Victorian parlors on December 13 for a Holiday Traditions Open House — four hours inside one of New York's most handsomely preserved 19th-century homes, dressed for the season. This is Auburn in December the way it ought to feel: unhurried, historic, and genuinely warm. The house that Lincoln and Tubman both visited looks extraordinary at the holidays, and the open house format means you can come and go at your own pace.

Date: Sunday, December 13, 2026 Time: 12:00–4:00 PM Location: Seward House Museum, 33 South St., Auburn, NY 13021 Cost: TBD — check sewardhouse.org

Visit sewardhouse.org or call (315) 252-1283 for admission details. Pair with a stop at the Harriet Tubman National Historical Park nearby and a meal in downtown Auburn for a full December Cayuga County day.
